Alex

Hello, my name is Alex! I am also the self-proclaimed "Chicken Nugget Princess". I have worked for DJX since November 2012. I am apart of the Ben Davis and Kelly K Show every morning, and I am the Middays Host 10a-3pm every day. I am obsessed with all things beauty. I have a serious skincare regimen and have even had to look into extra storage space for my collection! I love pink, Taylor Swift, decorating, high heels, and The Kardashians. I'm always looking for an adventure and to try something new- unless it's food...haha

In honor of Nev Schulman's new book out today, I decided to make a list of 10 of my favorite books that I've read in the last decade. There is no order, or genre, just books that have always stuck with me for personal reasons.

Lucas used to weigh over 300 pounds, and decided through hitting the gym hard and walking to work 5 miles each day, he was going to lose weight. He ended up losing 130 pounds, and kept it all a secret from his parents for over a year. Naturally, he decided to videotape their reaction and it makes you feel all the feels.

Not just any birthday cards though, birthday cards with HIS name on them.

Danny Nickerson, a five-year-old Massachusetts boy with a rare form of chemotherapy-resistant cancer, is turning six on Friday, and all he wants for his birthday: 'a box of cards.'

Danny was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last October. According to ABC News, doctors say that less than 10per cent of children with the disease, called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glimoma, live longer than 18 months.

Since he had to drop out of kindergarten, Danny's mother says he occasionally feels lonely - but he gets really excited to receive cards with his name on them.

Carley Nickerson says her son can identify his name, and when he saw it on packages at Easter, 'he was so happy.'

SEND A CARD TO DANNY!

Here's his address:

Danny Nickerson

P.O. Box 212

Foxboro, MA 02035

The Easter presents he received were from Magical Fairy Missions, an organization that sends mailings to children with brain tumors, as well as their siblings.

At this point, Danny is getting chemotherapy every two weeks, and despite the 18-month outlook, his mother remains optimistic.

'I don't really believe in that. He is doing great,' she said. 'Every day is a blessing.'

The Nickersons lives in Foxboro, a small town about 22 miles south of Boston. Besides Danny, Carley and Dan Nickerson have one other son, Matthew, who's four years old.

According to the Danny's Warriors Facebook page, an account Mrs Nickerson created to keep everyone updated on her son's progress, Danny was first diagnosed after he complained of having double vision.

Memes are to Instagram as videos are to Vine: a complete necessity. If you sift through the selfies, food porn, and dog photos, you get to see to heart of what Instagram really is…hilarious memes. Nobody knows this more than Alabama teen Keisha Johnson, whose face was made a staple of Instagram not too long ago.

Johnson’s confused “WTF-face” was appropriate for almost any occasion, and the social media platform quickly took notice. The now infamous “WTF-face” was posted onto thousands and thousands of memes. Granted, it’s understandable that Johnson wasn't too pleased with her picture going viral given that it wasn’t the best photo of her. Johnson, also known as the “confused girl,” is now suing Instagram for $500 million for defamation of character. Johnson states, “My face looked ugly like I was about to throw up…I look nothing like that in really life…I’m really a bad b*tch!”

Too bad suing the company isn’t actually going to work. Remember those pesky “terms and conditions” nobody actually reads? Well, in Instagram's case they state that the users of the social network are responsible for the content they share.

So, in reality, Johnson should be suing her friend who uploaded the picture. Technically she is the one responsible for starting the “confused girl” movement.

UPDATE: Sources are now confirming this story to be a hoax. Thank goodness. Cause I love confused face girl.

Like any other toddler Tessa Evans loves to dance, climb furniture and blow kisses.

But she suffers from a condition which means she was born with no nose. The 17-month-old has complete congenital arhinia, which is so rare there have only been 47 recorded cases in Britain.

Tessa has no sense of smell and no sinuses but she can cough, sneeze and catch a cold. And despite her difficulties, she always has a smile on her face, says her mother Gráinne. When her daughter was born with no nose Mrs Evans says her head was full of questions.

‘But since we got her home her differences have faded into the background,’ she said

Tessa will have a prosthetic nose fitted later this year.

‘She is perfect to us but we have to think about what will make life as normal as possible for her,’ said Mrs Evans of Maghera, Co Derry.

I can vouch for girls everywhere, every single thing on this list is true!

1. Say “is it okay if I take my pants off” before taking their pants off and remarking about how cute their underwear is and where they bought it.

2. Joke about having pillow fights in their underwear because that’s a cliched thing we’re told men fantasize about/think girls do when they’re alone together.

3. Talk about sex. Great sexual experiences, awkward sexual experiences, rude sexual experiences, what they like, what they hate, etc, etc, etc. If lots of liquor is involved, and the stars are aligned, demonstrations may follow.

4. Pull their hair into a messy knot on the tippy top of their head and lay in bed together, texting.

5. Sleep in the same bed and fall asleep giggling about nothing.

6. Give each other back rubs while watching TV.

7. Get each other Monday night wasted while ‘watching’ The Bachelor.

8. Tell each other secrets. Like, that they are worried about money or cheated on their boyfriend or that. Bragging is reserved for “I HAVE NEWS” texts or brunches and happy hours. Dark thoughts = secrets.

9. Do gross things like pick zits, belch, and talk about periods and UTIs.

10. Compare nipple sizes and breast texture.

11. Take several rounds of front-facing camera group selfies.

12. Gather around a lap top and creep on crushes or exes current girlfriends.

13. Disect the characters on reality television shows with the precision of doctoral psychology students.

14. Sit cross-legged on the floor and do their makeup in front of a mirror.

15. Alternatively, share their makeup until it’s in one gigantic, homogenous pile in the sink.

16. Ask questions about what they think the future will be like, or what they want to accomplish, or what kind of person they think they will end up with and give sincere, thoughtful answers.

17. Devour food in decidedly un-ladylike fervor.

18. Browse through their selfie collection and wonder aloud whether they were prettier in 2010, to a chorus of “um no”s.

This amazing story of Emmett, a 3 year old boy, and his 90 year old neighbor Erling will really make your heart swell. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. It just proves that friendships can be made anywhere, even unlikely places with unlikely people. This is a story you'll want to share with your friends and family no doubt about it.

Colbie really inspires with this new song "Try". She features all sorts of women and throughout the video you see them really "take it all off". As in makeup! Colbie even takes her weave AND photoshop off! Big claps to Colbie and her team for this INSPIRING video.

Conceptual artists Bompas & Parr created the boobtastic bouncy castle. Titled "Jump for Joy," the piece is part of a new exhibit called "Funland: Pleasures and Perils of the Erotic Underground," at New York City's Museum of Sex.

"According to newly translated documents, there may have been a real woman named Rose on the RMS Titanic who not only survived the infamous wreck- she wrote about it!

Letters dated in 1955 and signed by a Rose Amélie Icard describe in terrifying detail the scene on that fateful night:

"Towards eleven o'clock Mrs. Stone [Icard's employer] and I went to bed. Three quarters of an hour later, as the liner was cruising at full speed, a terrifying shock threw us out of bed…

…we witnessed unforgettable scenes where horror mixed with the most sublime heroism. Women, still in evening gowns, some just out of bed, barely clothed, disheveled, distraught, scrambled for the boats…

Near me were two handsome elderly [people], Mr. and Mrs. Straus, proprietors of the great store Macy's of New York. She refused to go into the boat after having helped in her maid…

She put her arms around the neck of her husband, telling him: 'We have been married 50 years, we have never left each other, I want to die with you.'"

Wow. That was just as harrowing and sad and romantic as the James Cameron movie! How incredible!"

Look's like Selena hasn't wasted any time finding a new BFF. Thanks to Selena's Bieb habit gone bad, Taylor dropped her like a bad habit. And now it looks like Selena has taken solace in her new pal KENDALL JENNER?! Wait,what?! Since when arethey friends?! We've NEVER seen pics of them hanging out!? I guess Selener had to find SOMEONE who wouldn't mind talking about Bieber over burritos.

Taylor Swift has a Doppleganger. Her name is Pattie Boyd, and was a model in the 1960s. Just Like Taylor , Pattie (who is now 70) has a history of dating extremely famous men. She's been married to former Beatle George Harrison and guitar legend Eric Clapton. She also had a fling with Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, which would have been like dating one of the One Direction boys.

COSMO posted these 8 tips on why we should be using dry shampoo MORE and regular shampoo LESS and I thought it was brilliant.

1. It keeps your curls from clumping together. If you want your curls to be piece-y and imperfect, keep them from clumping together in a uniform wave by spraying a starch-based dry shampoo, like Dove's Dry Shampoo, all over your hair after you curl it. The starch in the dry shampoo coats your hair and makes it dry and matte, covering your hair's natural oils, so your curls don't intertwine and make a master wave.

2. It boosts volume in one spray. "I usually tell my clients to flip their head upside down, since the gravity will help increase the volume as you add in the dry shampoo," he says. After that, make sure to concentrate the dry shampoo at your roots first, and then finish by spraying it all over to add some texture and volume all around.

3. It helps lock in your hair when you backcomb. "Anytime I'm creating an updo that involves backcombing, I always spray dry shampoo on the section, and then backcomb it to help lock in the tease," Townsend says. "It just holds so much better that way."

4. It adds grip to bobby pins. To keep bobby pins from slipping out of your hair when you're doing an updo, spray them all over with dry shampoo to give them some grip first. Townsend uses this trick on the celebs that he sends down the runway to ensure their hair stays in place.

5. It adds a subtle hold to your hair. Dry shampoo offers a little hold, but unlike hairspray it won't leave you with helmet hair of any kind. It gives you that touchable hold that you can still runs your hair through.

6. It keeps your bangs from sticking to your forehead. Spraying it under your bangs only will keep your fringe from sticking to the oil on your forehead. You don't need to spray dry shampoo all over your bangs — the underneath is the most important part. It keeps your fringe together nicely as well.

7. It can help you reverse your style. If you wear a slicked back style one day and the next day you don't have time to wash it but want it to look windblown, spray dry shampoo all over your hair and then brush it through with a paddle brush. You need to work the products out of your hair that slicked it back initially, so the dry shampoo will help reverse your hair texture back.

8. It can help conceal dark roots if you're a blonde.If you're trying to cover up dark regrowth, you have to go for a powder dry shampoo instead of a starch-y one, because that formula will impart white powder onto your roots that help cover them up. TryKlorane Gentle Dry Shampoo Powder.

-I personally LOVE Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray ($42). It's a cult favorite with celebrity hairstylists, and most celebs even keep a mini bottle in their purse! It's just the right amout of "grit" and really gives my hair some body. I have a lot of hair but it's very fine. This works AMAZINGLY on clean or 2nd day hair.

-If you want a cheaper alternative, I love PSSSSST! Dry Shampoo ($5.99) which is available at most drugstores.

Ugh, I am thoroughly dissapointed in the Bonnaroo lineup this year. I just think there are so many artists they missed out on. Lana Del Rey, Outkast, Ellie Goulding, Avicii, and Yelawolf to name a few... #sorrynotsorry Let me know what you think of the lineup in the comments below.
